Chapter 1046 - Air Pirates
Curses and bloodcurdling cries rang out. Practitioners who could fly were experiencing a zero-gravity feeling. Some of them wanted to escape and fly out of the airship. However, the ship was not as fragile as it looked. And they were falling. It was difficult to get out. Jiang Chen was one of those who succeeded in getting out. He burned a hole in the hull.
It was already night. The sky was starlit. They were over a bleak and desolate wildland. The exterior of the ship had been badly damaged and was burning.
At the thought of Yao Yuntong, Jiang Chen decided to go back to rescue her. But to his surprise, loud sounds of wind and thunder came from the ship. Yao Yuntong managed to escape by herself, followed by the people who had been with her.
In the end, the ship crashed onto a mountaintop. The noise it caused rent the tranquil night. Angry flames soared from the ruins and heavily injured passengers could be seen escaping in groups and individually.
Jiang Chen was carefully observing the surroundings. He soon realized a great formation had been deployed in this area.
“Watch out! It’s air pirates!” Someone shouted loudly. Jiang Chen’s assumptions were thus confirmed. The ship had been attacked. The attackers were quite cruel. They let the ship fall and watched people die or get injured. It saved them a lot of work. Soon, the air pirates came into sight. Each of them was wearing a ghost face mask and a black robe.
Jiang Chen recalled what he had heard on deck. Some passengers had been worrying about the chance of running into air pirates. And his companion had called him a jinx.
Yao Yuntong’s companions were secretly blaming Jiang Chen. They were afraid he would piss off the air pirates.
“Kill him, but don’t let him die too fast,” the air pirate leader ordered.
The air pirates who had surrounded Jiang Chen attacked decisively. Killing was nothing for them, but Jiang Chen was used to killing as well. Seeing these ants courting death, he only curled his lips. He was not carrying swords with him since he was in disguise. However, he did not need swords at all to deal with these people.
